Eating well to feel good is not just about choosing a healthy diet. It means choosing a balanced and healthy lifestyle, which, as we recall, "is the result of a lifestyle that integrates many aspects: the practice of sport as a personal pleasure, the search for healthy, lightly processed foods, preferring whole grains to white ones and fish proteins to meat, the intake of magnesium and vitamin D to counteract excessive stress are simple but fundamental ideas for achievement of psycho-physical well-being ".
In short, nutrition and well-being, nutrition and happiness are interdependent concepts and as such they deserve to be treated. The body and mind deserve attention and respect, just as food choices must be taken with equal care.
